Employment - Moventra Logistics

I was contacted about a work-from-home position as a Logistics Checker after applying for jobs on Indeed. I was told that packages would be delivered to my home, that I would inspect and process them, and that Moventra would provide shipping labels for me to send the packages to another location. I was told I would receive a monthly payment of $4,100, plus bonuses for packages that were shipped on time. During the hiring process, I provided a photo of my identification and was also asked to provide a selfie holding my identification. Packages began arriving at my home through different carriers, including UPS, FedEx, and Amazon. I received instructions from Moventra to process and ship the packages, and I did so. Approximately two and a half weeks into the position, I was contacted and told that I was being considered for a promotion to become a purchasing agent. Moventra told me they would pay off credit card debt and reimburse purchases made using a credit card. I explained that I do not have a credit card. I was then asked whether I had a friend or family member who would allow me to use their credit card. I was told that they would pay off that person’s credit card debt. I declined because I was not willing to use someone else’s credit card. I was then told that they could no longer offer me the position, and the call ended. During the time I was receiving packages, Moventra contacted me repeatedly about incoming shipments. They would call multiple times, sometimes back-to-back, asking when I would be sending packages out. They appeared to be monitoring the shipments very closely. As more packages arrived, I became increasingly concerned about the legitimacy of the operation. Some of the packages and receipts did not appear to correspond with me personally, and I became concerned that the merchandise could have been obtained fraudulently. I contacted Best Buy regarding packages I received from their store and was advised to contact law enforcement. I subsequently contacted my local sheriff’s office. A sheriff’s deputy came to my home and took the Garmin watches I had received so they could be placed on hold. I have retained documentation related to this situation, including emails, shipping labels, receipts, and other records. At this point, I have serious concerns about whether this company and the employment opportunity are legitimate, whether I will receive the promised compensation, and whether the packages I was instructed to receive and ship were connected to fraudulent purchases. I am submitting this complaint so there is a record of my experience and so that other people considering employment with Moventra can be aware of what happened to me. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND RESEARCH THIS COMPANY THOROUGHLY BEFORE ACCEPTING EMPLOYMENT OR RECEIVING PACKAGES ON ITS BEHALF.

Phishing - Addobe Construction

An individual claiming to represent Addobe Construction contacted our commercial furniture business to purchase 30 chairs. We provided a quote, and an American Express payment initially appeared successful. Approximately one month later, the payment was disputed and reversed. Before that reversal, the buyer requested an additional 30 chairs and submitted another deposit, which was reversed almost immediately. The buyer also instructed us to use and pay a specific freight company. The freight payment went through, resulting in an approximately $9,000 loss to our business. Based on information discovered afterward, we have reason to believe the freight company may have been connected to the buyer. On August 18, 2026, we received another inquiry using the same Addobe Construction email domain but a different contact name. The sender again attempted to direct us to an unfamiliar freight company called NDX Logistics. We recognized the connection and stopped the order before releasing any merchandise. The website uses addobecontructions.com, while its email addresses use addobeconstructions.com. Warning signs included a large remote order, additional merchandise requested before the original payment settled, multiple contact names and insistence that the seller use and pay a customer-selected freight company. We have retained emails, invoices, payment records and freight documentation.(Can Provide Documentation)

Retail Business

I found this company through a google search for AHA BLS courses. Their website looks legit and has all of the correct language to receive the BLS certification. I paid $159 and signed up for a course near me. They sent multiple texts with directions. Some redflags initially were that the website and texts indicated no refunds, no rescheduling, and you cannot dispute the charges. I attempted to reschedule and was sent a text indicating I could reschedule for a $50 fee if I completed the rescheduling within an hour. I called AHA and they confirmed that the company, and testing address are not official AHA certification providers.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I went online to purchase a product that I had already had but wanted more of. I placed my order after searching online for the product by its name and was led to Nikki New York’s website. I purchased two tissue box holders and when they came in the mail, they were clearly knock off, missing the original packaging and a necessary weight to hold the product down. Further, I was charged a $3.99 “shipping protection” despite their advertised free shipping. When the item came, it was packaged in bubble wrap and in a plastic container. There was no shipping protection i.e. a box. When I tried to dispute this directly with Niki New York. I was responded by a bot on numerous occasions. When I asked for my money back, it was recommended twice to consider keeping the product and paying more money. I tried to call the number advertised on their site for customer service and it is a dead line. The original tissue box that I was seeking is on the right the one on the left is the product I purchased from Nikki, New York

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

Complaint Against: LimitedFares.com I booked a one-way flight through LimitedFares.com at a clearly advertised price of $714, and paid using my debit card. I received an email stating my reservation was being processed and that a confirmation email would follow promptly. However, I never received this confirmation. Instead, I was later contacted by phone and told that my flight price had suddenly increased to $1,267, with the demand that I pay the higher amount to secure my booking. When I questioned this, I was given conflicting and contradictory explanations, including that the original flight was no longer available, that I was put on standby by the airline, and that my payment had allegedly been declined. These claims are unsubstantiated and suspicious. I received no notification from my bank that my debit card transaction was declined or otherwise problematic. The supervisor, Roman, was unable to provide any proof of a declined transaction and admitted to processing my card through the airline’s website rather than through LimitedFares.com, raising serious concerns about their business practices. This situation appears to violate my consumer rights—including the right to clear, honest pricing and confirmation of purchase without deceptive upselling or bait-and-switch tactics. Quoting a price, accepting payment information, and then demanding a significantly higher amount under dubious circumstances is unacceptable and likely unlawful. I request the following immediate actions: A full and transparent explanation of the circumstances surrounding my booking and payment Written proof of any alleged payment decline or cancellation of the original booking Confirmation that my debit card details have not been misused or charged improperly Immediate resolution without further demands for increased payment Assurance that LimitedFares.com will comply with fair business and consumer protection laws, including honoring advertised prices and providing timely confirmations I expect this complaint to be taken seriously and resolved promptly to protect my rights as a consumer.

Online Purchase

I ordered a titanium cutting board and selected the buy 2 get 1 free deal for size large cutting boards (&172.37). I received the order; however, the free cutting board send with the 2 large cutting boards was only an extra small. Then, once the order was received, I was suddenly charged $24.95. I did not authorize this and made no further purchases. I used the email they sent me confirming my order had been delivered to reply and asked why I was charged, to let them know I did not authorize and further charges or purchases. The reply email bounced back stating could not be delivered. I then used the link provided in their email for reporting issues with the order, but that link did not go anywhere. The link didn't work. I then tried to email their [email protected] to question the charge and ask for reimbursement. That email returned stating that [email protected] Host or domain name not found. After reading the scam on this Better Business Bureau site about auntie rue automatically signing them up for a monthly subscription without their consent, which charged their credit card monthly, I didn't want to take any chances, so I reported it as fraud to my credit card company.

I saw an ad on facebook for a portable gaming system similar to a “gameboy”. I was intrigued and clicked on it, and ended up paying for one. I got an email a week or so later saying it was shipped, but multiple weeks later never received anything. I reached out via email (the only contact available on their website) asking where my order was. They responded saying my order got lost in shipping and that they would send me another. Weeks later I reached out again asking where it was, I was told they would be checking on my order and getting back to me. Finally I emailed them again asking for my money back, they wrote me back agreeing to a refund, even sent me an email with a refund confirmation, saying the refund would take 5-10 business days. It’s been almost three weeks and I have yet to receive any refund.

I ordered some work pants from them well back in February and I have yet to receive this order. I have emailed them and they provided a fake tracking number and they say their records show it as delivered. However, nothing was ever delivered and the tracking number isn’t for fedex, UPS, or USPS. They have some other system that when you click the link it appears that you have received the item. No picture or other proof that it was actually delivered. I emailed them and complained and they said they will re-ship out another set. Then this “second” order never arrived either. Now they have offered only a partial refund because they say that they have also lost money on this sale. It’s ridiculous.

Phishing - Phishing Letter

On August 18, 2026, I received this letter through the U.S. Postal Service in an unmarked envelope with no readily identifiable company name. The letter contains my correct name/address and accurate information about my vehicle, including the year, make, and model. However, it does not clearly identify the company sending the solicitation. The mailing is presented as an urgent and official-looking notice. It prominently states “Official Business – Penalty for Private Use $300,” “FORM 9550-WARR,” “FINAL NOTICE: IMMEDIATE RESPONSE NEEDED,” and provides an expiration date of August 25, 2026. It repeatedly instructs me to call 1-833-777-1002 regarding my vehicle warranty. The letter states that failure to call may result in a lapse of coverage and suggests that my vehicle lender may require me to maintain a warranty to remain in compliance. It also states that “REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED for continued protection.” I believe the presentation could mislead a reasonable consumer into believing this is an official notice from a government agency, vehicle manufacturer, lender, dealer, or existing warranty provider rather than a commercial solicitation. I am particularly concerned that the sender uses government-style “Official Business – Penalty for Private Use $300” language, creates urgency through repeated “FINAL NOTICE” and expiration warnings, does not clearly identify the company making the solicitation, and possesses accurate personal and vehicle information that could make the notice appear legitimate. I am submitting this complaint so the appropriate agency can determine who is responsible for this mailing and whether its representations, presentation, and solicitation practices comply with applicable consumer-protection and postal laws.

Phishing - Harcourt LLP

Letter from supposed lawyer Douglas White of Hartcourt LLP claims their client with my same last name passed away and has Accidental Death Benefit $13,600,000.00 US Dollars and they could not find living relatives or claimant to her estate. The sender goes on to say he wants to split the benefit with me 50/50 after 10% goes to charity. The request is soliciting contact and offering more information wishing to complete the alleged benefit claim within 30 days. It includes 2 email addresses [email protected] and copy to [email protected]. 2 real addresses on the letter one is 473 Mundet Place Ste US711306 Hillside NJ 07205.

The website hartcourtspllp.com is recently registered domain but the site is currently not functional. Scams like these are similar to others where the conman will try to engage the target in conversation and collect personal information to steal identity or more directly ask for initial fees up front with promise of payback from the benefits before split with real intention to get money from the target and to gain access to additional funds.

Online Purchase - Mayberry/ Mayberry North Carolina

I found Mayberry through a Google search for orthopedic sandals. The website looks legit and ‘North Carolina’ is prominent on the webpage. There was an end of season clearance type sale and I found a few I liked. There was the same shoe in either a regular or an orthopedic option, with the orthopedic being more expensive. I spent over $200, purchasing five (5) pairs. It seemed to take awhile to receive the shoes and when I got them I was shocked. These were supposedly $100+ shoes, but they didn’t arrive in individual boxes, they didn’t even arrive in a box, they arrived in plastic shipping bags with the shoes inside shrink wrapped packaging. I was immediately suspicious. The shoes are just foam, no actual structure, nothing even leaning to support for orthopedic shoes. I almost rolled my ankle trying on one of the pairs. Here’s the email I received when I asked the return process, reminder that they came in shrink wrap so I had to take them out of packaging to try them on, meaning they wouldn’t be accepted as returns. “ Thank you so much for getting back to us — we want to make sure we get this resolved for you right away! We'd like to offer you the following three options so you can choose what works best: ?? Option 1 – 10% Refund (Keep the Items): We can issue a 10% refund back to your original payment method, and you're welcome to keep the shoes — no return required. A convenient option if you'd like to gift them or pass them along. ?? Option 2 – 75% Store Credit: We can issue you 75% of the value of your purchase as store credit, which you can redeem on a future purchase. The credit never expires and no return is required! ?? Option 3 – Full Refund (Return Required): If you'd still prefer to return the shoes for a full refund, the following conditions apply: Items must be unworn, unused, and in their original condition with all packaging intact. Customers are responsible for all shipping costs, including customs duties, and for providing the correct documentation. A 15% restocking fee applies to help cover processing and inventory handling (this may be waived only if the item arrived damaged or was incorrect). Once you confirm Option 3, we'll send over the return address and all further details separately. After we receive and inspect the returned shoes, your refund will be processed back to your original payment method within 5–10 business days. Please let us know which option works best for you, *******, and we'll take care of it right away! Warm Regards, Vonn Mayberry Team” I’m working with my bank, trying to get them identified as fraudulent. All the other reports are right on the money, scammers through and through.
